Oh I agree 100%, but i will always love my carbon spewing internal combustion engines, you can work and add power, with electric you can change the motor or batteries etc. but it’s not the same.

I’m glad I could help! I have no idea why that’s happening with tags though. Wondering how you typically login, on a mobile device? If so, how long has it been since you went and deleted cookies, cleared internet files, and stuff like that?
Hmmm. I will look into it.
I think it’s a great idea with the right application

This is what I can’t figure out. He topped off these plants with nutrient water 3 times during the grow. How do salts not build up? If I understand the Kratky (and I may not) when the water has been completely depleted it’s harvest time. It was geared for faster growing plants like greens. My plant is in a 5 gallon and I have to top off daily. The roots are massive.

Is that filter cleaning intake air or vented air? Cuz if its vented air there is no point in the pre filter. You can improve airflow getting rid of it.

I grew vegetables using the Kratky method last winter. It works but has some obvious drawbacks. Because the solution is added as needed and the plants can use it very fast, you will be all hands on deck all the time. The larger the plant gets, the faster you will need to replace solution. In addition to that, ph is difflicult to keep stable unless you constantly change solution because there isnt much volume and as the plants consume food and water at different rates the solution becomes out of balance rather quickly. That said, it works, though its only a hole away from a bubble bucket, which works far better.

It works ok, i did 12 heads of lettuce in Kratky, but no you still need to totally empty and refill containers several times during the course of the plants growth. There is no way to do it otherwise. For larger plants like sativas or big hash plants a drain would need to be installed so full replacement can be done periodically. You can only top up so many times before salts begin to go out of whack. But again it works. I would say it suits herbs and small fast table crops best.

I only have 1 bucket going and for that bucket I’ll take a snapshot of I’m using
I would use 1 pump like that for each bucket.
@Grandaddy013 or @Myfriendis410 May have some insight with larger pumps.
